One-week Japan Itinerary for repeat visitors (3)

(Okayama, Ehime, Hiroshima Prefectures)

To foreign travelers who have already been to Japan many times and would like to visit more places in Japan!

We have created model routes outside the so-called "Golden Routes" such as Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, and Osaka. Please use it as a reference for your future itineraries.

The third route is an Okayama, Ehime, and Hiroshima Prefectures tour. We have created a travel route that will take 7 days and 6 nights, departing from and arriving at Kansai International Airport, with a budget of no more than Yen 200,000.

This itinerary allows visitors to fully enjoy Japan's proud culture and scenery, including 5 national treasure buildings, two of the 12 existing castle towers (Matsuyama Castle and Uwajima Castle), three national preservation districts for groups of traditional buildings, and one rabbit island (Okunoshima).
